Minor issues only, no Medium or High. Worth a quick look at the findings below before installing.

Graded by PlugVetRubric v2

Not a guarantee. A hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, not a security audit.

Rescanned at commit 330cb0a92f63, unchanged since the check below.

PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST

Why this grade

  • PERMISSION_DELETE_FILES Low

    Contains a call that can delete files.

    scripts/build_paper_index.py, line 446 result = subprocess.run(

  • NETWORK_NO_FIXED_HOST Low

    Makes a network call whose host is not written as a fixed address.

    scripts/paper_workflow.py, line 1033 self.sock = socket.create_connection((self._pinned_address, self.port), self.timeout, self.source_address)

Any High, or two or more Medium findings, give D. One Medium gives C. Low findings or a security Note give B. Each code names a finding behind the letter.

Grades are a hygiene check of the source at the commit shown, on the date checked, not a security audit or a guarantee. The free directory grades are automated. Before release, a PlugVet engineer reviews every paid report and any grade we hold back, including all F grades, against the source code and the evidence we quote.
